Ways You’d Improve Thanksgiving Celebrations

  1. Macy Should Have Balloons of Celebrities Who Died that Year
  2. Go and visit a country where it’s not a holiday. Like Canada or Mexico.
  3. serve more wine
  4. After dinner board games or parlor games
  5. Make deep-frying the turkey the only cooking method allowed by law
  6. More eels, seal, and cod
  7. Mandatory hat buckles
  8. Outlaw turducken
  9. Mandatory contribution to local food bank of 1/5 of what you spent on your vittles
  10. The host/hostess is the recognized ruler of all. If the threshold is crossed, every command must be obeyed, starting with the unspoken-but-universally-understood “Shut up, (relative), and don’t be an ass.”
  11. Dinner shall be served so as not to be in conflict with Cowboys game! Please schedule meal to either conclude before kick-off (4:30pm) or to be ready immediately after game (unknown time). Failure to do so will result in all requests to come to the table to be unheard, no matter how many times you yell from the another room.
